Surah “The Tidings, The Announcement”

as rendered by Muhammad Sarwar — 40 verses

78:1
What do they quarrel about
78:2
They quarrel about the great new
78:3
concerning which they have disputes
78:4
(What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality)
78:5
Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it
78:6
Have We not made the earth as a place to res
78:7
and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)
78:8
Have We not created you in pairs
78:9
made sleep for you to rest
78:10
made the night as a covering
78:11
and the day as time for you to make a living
78:12
Have We not made seven strong heavens above you
78:13
(the sun) as a shining torch
78:14
and sent down heavy rains from the cloud
78:15
to make the seeds, plants
78:16
and thick gardens grow
78:17
The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment
78:18
On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups
78:19
The heavens will have openings like doors
78:20
The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages
78:21
Hell will lie in wait (for its prey)
78:22
It will be a place of return
78:23
for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages
78:24
They will not feel cold nor taste any drink
78:25
except boiling water and pus
78:26
as a fitting recompense for their deeds
78:27
They did not expect such a Judgment
78:28
and persistently rejected Our revelations
78:29
However, We have recorded everything in a book
78:30
(They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you"
78:31
The pious ones will be triumphant
78:32
They will have gardens and vineyards
78:33
maidens with pears-shaped breasts who are of equal age (to their spouses
78:34
and cups full of wine
78:35
They will not hear therein any unnecessary words or lies
78:36
This will be their reward from your Lord, a favor from Him and a recompense for their deeds
78:37
He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He is the Beneficent God and no one will be able to address Him
78:38
On that day, the Spirit and the angels who stand in lines will not speak except those whom the Beneficent God has permitted, and he will speak the right words
78:39
That will be the Day of the Truth. So let those who want seek refuge from their Lord
78:40
We have warned you of the approaching torment. On that day, a person will see what his hands have committed. A disbeliever will say, "Would that I had been dust"
